Mission

The mission of the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is to provide the highest quality pharmaceutical education, pharmaceutical sciences research, and public service programs in Southern California, and to advance the pharmaceutical sciences, and the clinical care and therapeutic counseling provided by the faculty and the Pharm.D. and Ph.D. students and the post-doctoral fellows and residents.

In support of this mission the SSPPS has built strong partnerships with the School of Medicine, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, basic science departments on the main campus, the San Diego Supercomputer Center, and the Jacobs School of Engineering. A special partnership has been developed with the UCSD Medical School and the Moores Cancer Center to provide collaborative research and training opportunities in drug design, discovery and development.
